21. Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
The IEEE standard, 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), promises to simplify
troubleshooting of enterprise networks and enhance the ability of network management tools to
discover and maintain accurate network topologies in multi-vendor environments. LLDP data are
made available to NMS (Network Management Systems) via SNMP.
The LLDP service is enabled by default, but may be disabled via the Bootup and Shutdown menu
under the System folder.
Note
In order to make LLDP information available via SNMP, the SNMP service must be configured,
running, and accessible.
LLDP information can be polled using the standard LLDP-MIB.
21.1. LLDP Status
LLDP status can also be seen directly using Webmin. Please note that there is a 30 second delay
between updates. Pressing the Refresh button will query LLDP for current information.
